One line. That's all it takes. And this week that's all you get. Give us your best designs using only one, continuous line. Go nuts! Just make sure you go nuts within these rules:

No halftones.

One color only.

No phoenixes or tigers.

No pop culture riffs.

Keep your lines wider than 1/16".

Everything in your design should be part of the same continuous line. We should only be able to see two ends to your line. Your continuous line should render everything on the shirt.

No retracing the same path. The line should always be distinct from itself, if that makes sense. Don't fill in a space and try to tell us it's just one line that overlaps itself. Don't try multiple line endings on the grounds that the line turns back on itself.

Don’t cross your line over itself.

Text is permitted as long as the treatment meets all the rules above. If you can draw text with one unbroken line with no retracing, knock yourself out.

Moderating this Derby might involve some judgment calls on our part, so if your design even comes close to breaking any of these rules, back away or risk rejection.

But if you look 'by votes' the first questionable shirt is #36. So as much as it Bugs us all, they're at least policing the ones that 'matter'. They don't give a damn about the rest of us, but c'est la vie.

I do not think, however, that they will be rejecting based on this (line size) for anyone outside of the fog. To much work for to little return. I just hope they monitor for it in the fog, and don't just "fix it afterwards" since they reserve the right to alter any submitted design.

Everything in your design should be part of the same continuous line. We should only be able to see two ends to your line. Any other line endings sticking out somewhere will be cause for rejection. And no autonomous little design elements away from the main one. Your continuous line should render everything on the shirt.

- No retracing the same path. The line should always be distinct from itself, if that makes sense. Don't fill in a space and try to tell us it's just one line that overlaps itself. Don't try multiple line endings on the grounds that the line turns back on itself.

- One color only. No changing the color mid-line or using gradients.

Text is permitted as long as the treatment meets all the rules above. If you can draw text with one unbroken line with no retracing, knock yourself out.

Moderating this Derby might involve some judgment calls on our part, so if your design even comes close to breaking any of these rules, back away or risk rejection.

Lines shouldn't cross themselves. Keep the line pretty wide so we can size these down. No super thin lines or we'll point to that 1/16" rule and reject.
